I am with you on Starcraft. I enjoyed WoL, and look forward to HotS. i haven't played D3 yet, and may never unless it goes on sale. I purchased Torchlight II for that hole in my heart. I've never been a fan of WoW, but the original Warcraft RTS was quite fun. Is Blizzard working on any new IP? It's a shame they don't take some guys that are bored with Call of Duty over at Activision and make a Starcraft FPS. I don't mean a Call of Duty ripoff or your typical FPS. Something original with that familiar FPS perspective and combat system. Just rambling thoughts...

Try Path of Exile. PoE is freaking amazing dude. As someone who felt quite distraught by the piece of crap I had bought named diablo 3, you will not be disappointed by this free to play, not even possible to pay to win ARPG.

Yeah...For an entire decade, nothing but WoW xpacs. That also made me pretty pissed. I mean, I can see how it would be fun, but to be their entire game for literally a decade of releases...it is difficult to reconcile. Compounded with diablo? Forget about it.

Is Blizzard working on any new IP?

Word has it it's an entirely new IP called "titan" or that is what was said in /r/diablo when I was there...

Wasn't starcraft ghost kind of around this premise I mean fps as a ghost? It would be pretty damn cool, in my opinion. I think the execution would be poor at best, though. "look we added starcraft skins to CoD. Also, we are going to butcher and make non canonical storyline off shoots that make no sense."

I'll definitely look into PoE. Hopefully Titan shows us the we knew from the 90's and not the money hungry machine we see now. Starcraft: Ghost was just that... a ghost. Something like that would need to be executed properly, and for the right motives (ie to expand the realm of Starcraft and not to milk the name for more $$$).

If you ever need some help with PoE pm me, I would be glad to help or give you some advice. Yes, though, I really do hope Titan is that kind of blizzard...but it has been so long, I think they would be changed by it; corrupted by the money. lol

I was ignorant that there could be a return policy on an online game. Conceptually it escaped me but practically I can understand it. This meant I was left witht he unfortunate expense through my ignorance of a 100 dollar steaming pile of poop game.

Admittedly it has been improved, but for a AAA title from a company I expected nothing but pure gold based on ALL of my prior experience with them in the early millenia? No. It's junk.

So sick if hearing this. They are not the fucking same, not at all. Activision has zero control over how Blizzard runs their business, and vice versa. They are two different companies operating under a single corporate banner.

Edit: And I have a hard time believing that the "corporate banner" does not dictate their decisions as a business. Money is what makes the gears move, after all. Anyways, I apologize for the statement above. I do understand they are not the same, and are separate entities. It just kills me that all large game corporations seem to disown their user base (fans), and chase what is most profitable.
